Everyone needs a little help some times and some of us need a lot of help all of the time, either way I'm here to guide you through the fog to the light on the other side. I love to help wherever I can, but I work especially well with depression and anxiety, with teenagers, and with families.
I have spent the better part of the last 10 years working with everyone from teenagers to adults. I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), TF-CBT, MRT, DBT, and lots of other letters. I have been certified in anger management. I've worked in the court system, I've met with inmates in the jail, and I've helped kids in a school setting.
Therapy is more than talking and solving problems, it's about building relationships. It is my goal to build a relationship with everyone that walks in my door. A wise man once told me, "No one learns anything from someone they don't like," and I've made it my mission to connect with everyone that I've ever worked with.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
